  12. Challenge: Human Sexuality WAGGGS’ Position: • Girls and young women should have access to age appropriate education. • Girls and young women should be empowered to make healthy choices about their own lives, by understanding the issues as well as having the skills and opportunities to make those decisions (ex. self esteem, negotiation, leadership).

  13. Challenge: Human Sexuality GSUSA’s position: Human Sexuality • Girl Scouts of the USA does not take a position or develop materials on these issues. We feel our role is to help girls develop self-confidence and good decision-making skills that will help them make wise choices in all areas of their lives. • Parents or guardians make all decisions regarding program participation that may be of a sensitive nature. Consistent with that belief, GSUSA directs councils, including volunteer leaders, to get written parental permission for any locally planned program that could be considered sensitive.
